Fun source and fun idea for a remix!  But I think the guys above me covered most of the issues well.  The soundscape is dense, muddy-ish, and repetitive.  The same sounds are used all throughout the arrangement, which could work if the writing was varied enough.  With the writing being so conservative and also repetitive throughout the piece, the instrumentation, sfx and ear candy have got to be varied and dynamic. Many of the elements are lows-heavy, causing the low end to feel heavy and muddy; some EQ on the midrange elements would help clear up the low end.  The drum kit feels weak compared to the rest of the instrumentation.  As XPRT said, the kick is extremely weak with zero body.  The 8-bit squelches and sizzly crash don't feel right to me, in this arrangement.  There's no sidechaining that I can hear, so the mix lacks groove it could otherwise have (not dealbreaker, but a shame). I like the soft breakdown with just drums and bells, with the chippy synth leading us back to the melodic material.  The arrangement overall I think is working well.  This one would be a winner for me with a bit more instrumentation variation, some EQ to tame the lows on the midrangey elements, and better drum sounds and drum mixing (and a little sidechaining never hurt anyone!). NO (resubmit)

Cada ano que passa, fico ansioso por um novo lançamento de about:blank, "acrophobia" foi seu remix de introdução para mim no vasto mar de conhecimento da Ocremix lá em 2011 quando conheci o site, eu lembro de trabalhar em uma locadora de filmes, coisa rara de se ver hoje em dia, e durante o turno, estava no computador da empresa, procurando no YouTube alguns remixes de earthworm Jim, quando me deparei com o de About:Black, no canal da Oc no YouTube,  foi amor a primeira vista, desde então dia após dia, oc remix e about:Blank, vivem em mim, obrigado por essa nova e fascinante sensação

A long, long time ago, someone posted this thread with zero replies.  For posterity's sake, I am replying to say that I too would love to hear what the community could do with the soundtrack. I also double that the intro=perfect, particularly the audio processor for the Sega Genesis.  I am usually a SNES guy when it comes to the sounds, but the way this is put together on the Genesis just sounds ten times better than the SNES version. Here's a Youtube of the Genesis opening:  

no yeah this theme rocks actually! i didnt bother listening to much of sf6's ost since it didnt interest me that much but this theme stands out compared to the others in my opinion from what i've heard. maybe i should go back and listen again. i think music wise my favourite part would have to be the rhythm guitar. the groove for it works really well in hand with the song! i think its also neat how the song really does act as a theme for Ed as a character, like you said since even the beginning kind of wraps back to when he was abducted when it says "as if the core had been taken out of me at some point", unless thats just me looking into it too much lol
